possible bug in bns driver

Hi All,
Thanks to all thoes who answered my questions regarding
the installation of Linux on my friend's system.
I ended up using fips, which did the job just fine.
I had to give myself a pat on the back (grin).
His windows partition came through unscathed, and Linux runs just fine.
However, During the install, I confirmed a problem with the bns
speakup driver.
When the bns reads uppercase letters, it doesn't raise
the pitch of the voice.
However, windows/DOS screenreaders do this just fine.
Thanks.
Greg
